likely more expensive for your loved ones.
Planning ahead can make a painful time easier
to bear, and many find great meaning and peace carrying out
a thoughtful funeral plans that honor their loved one’s wishes.
And how are your loved ones supposed
to deal with the grief? Need to plan for that too!

that means carrying out the whole process without a funeral home
or just preparing and delivering the eulogy.
